Does anyone know how long it takes for PA to send out the ATT? They received my paperwork on May 30th and I paid Pearson months ago. Most of my friends my NJ have already received their ATT and scheduled their test and everyone I know from PA that graduated at the end of May still hasn't received their ATT. I was hoping to take my test ASAP but now it looks like I may have to wait because test dates are being taken up really fast. I preferred not to have to travel far away to take the test because that in itself is mentally draining. I've been hearing from people who called inquiring that it can take up to 4 weeks. The NCSBN says that more students pass the nclex when they take it within 26 days of graduating. This is impossible when you don't get your ATT for weeks after graduating. I'm just venting....:angryfire

I think it depends on when you send it in, I got mine in about 4 days, but it was in Feb when there weren't a lot of grads sending in forms. We were told by our instructor that spring is a rough time to be waiting for papers for ATT or TPP because the BON is swamped with applications. It may take a few weeks longer. You can always call them and get the status of your paperwork.
